Although the United States and other affluent nations havemore than
an adequate food supply, other nations daily facethe specter of
starvation. The world now has a critical population/food dilemma of
potentially major proportions. Production fromthe sea and the land
is not keeping pace with a world populationthat is doubling every
thirty-five years. Unless this age-oldMalthusian problem is solved,
millions face starvation and ultimatelydeath.The situation has
stimulated substantial international interestin the sea as a source
of food and raw materials. The potentialof the sea-not as a
panacea, but as an important source of proteinto augment the
world's food supplies and thereby as a meansof mitigating the
crises we face-is a continuing theme throughoutthis book. At
present, fish provide approximately 9 percentof the world's
protein. Fish are sought not only for food butalso for recreation
and pleasure. What forces determine the presentsupply and demand
for fishery products? More important,what steps are needed to
utilize the full potential of the sea asa source of food and
recreation? This book explores these forcesand thus provides an
insight into food potential from the sea.
